Here in the land where it will seldom rain
Is a small little girl, brimming with pain
Her mother thought drugs were far more fun
And left her with a mother who loved her close to none
And laid hands on her any chance she got
I would rather die, the little girl thought
She never met her dad for he was sent to jail
For stealing and drinking and smoking to no avail
Was there no one to save her? No one who knows?
Then she and her brother got terribly close
Told each other secrets and learned to stay afloat
Oh wait- now he's leaving, so there is truly no hope
Just one more year, the little girl said
One more year
And then she fled
